RSIFF, 12: Bakhtawar Mazhar: In Flames of Glory

RSIFF, 12: Bakhtawar Mazhar: In Flames of Glory A day before the awards were announced, declaring In Flames the best film, at the Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF), I was face–to-face with Bakhtawar Mazhar, one of the protagonists of In Flames, her feature debut, a film that had made a tremendous impression on me.

RSIFF, 11: Winners Declared, the Festival over, or is it?

RSIFF, 11: Winners Declared, the Festival over, or is it? Red Sea International Film Festival was to be held from 29 November to 09 December.

But if you have attended other film festivals, like the Mumbai Film Festival (held by MAMI), you would not be surprised. Actually, it is a great idea. Announce the awards two days before the closing, so that the invited guests do not ha...

Poor Things? Post-ingenue Oscars 2024 also rings in the Mangenue

by Quendrith Johnson, Los Angeles Correspondent There’s a reason Poor Things starring Best Oscar Actress nom Emma Stone with 11 Oscar nods charts so high among big movies, Oppenheimer with 13 nods, Barbie with eight, and Killers of the Flower Moon at 10 nominations.

Sundance Interview with REALM OF SATAN Director: Scott Cummings

  By Emmanuel Itier I remember meeting Peter H. Gilmore, the high priest of the Church of Satan when I was doing a documentary about the notion of “God”.

Furthermore, I learned that their approach was more about rebelling against the politically correct approach of life in general. Remember that Sa...
